Normal yerleşimli tiroid bezi ile birlikte görülen submandibüler ektopik tiroid

Abstract

Ektopik tiroid, pretrakeal alan dışındaki bir bölgede tiroid dokusu varlığı olarak tanımlanan tiroid bezinin nadir görülen gelişimsel anomalisidir. Tüm ektopik tiroid olgularının yaklaşık %1 ila %3’ü yan boyunda bulunmaktadır. Fonksiyonel bir ortotopik tiroid bezi ile eş zamanlı submandibüler ektopik tiroid dokusu birlikteliği son derece nadir- dir. Bu yazıda, kliniğimize boyunda şişlik yakınması ile başvuran ve ultrasonografisinde submandibüler ektopik tiroid dokusu ve ortotopik tiroid bezi birlikteliği tespit edilen 37 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunuldu

Submandibular ectopic thyroid with normally located thyroid gland

Abstract

Ectopic thyroid is a rare developmental anomaly of the thyroid gland which is defined as the presence of thyroid tissue at a site other than the pretracheal area. Nearly 1 to 3% of all ectopic thyroids are located in the lateral neck. Simultaneous submandibular ectopic thyroid tissue presenting with a functional orthotopic thyroid gland is extremely rare. In this article, we report a 37-year-old female case admitted to our clinic with a complaint of swollen neck in whom ultrasonography revealed submandibular ectopic thyroid tissue presenting with an orthotopic thyroid gland.
